The Rebel
Chapter 25

I looked around to see that he was leading me to a medium sized pack house, but the inside?

It looked no less than a luxurious villa.

We stood in front of a door with gold carvings. Some sort of pack symbol, I suppose.

The Gamma turned to look at me.

“Don’t behave badly in front of him, Red. Usually he hates thugs, but I think you’ll be an exception,” he said and I nodded, looking at the ground.

Finally ! I was going to meet the man behind all this bullshit!

Few people have seen it, but those who have say it is both beautiful and terrifying.

Alpha Kane is the strongest Alpha in the world, after him.

And there were rumors that he tried to challenge him to a duet.

A man like him doesn’t deserve to be a man, much less an Alpha.

But I guess I shouldn’t judge him before I meet him.

To see if the rumors were true?

Is he really involved in all this?

Gamma knocked on the door and a cold voice answered from inside.

“Come in,” he said and we entered. I didn’t dare look up, at least not immediately. I had to make a good first impression, remember?

“Alpha. The thug we found in our territory,” Gamma said as he moved away from me and I felt a burning gaze on me.

“Don’t look up… Don’t!” »

“You can leave, Zen. »

His cold voice came and I felt shivers run down my spine.

His aura… I can’t define it.

But, it was different.

If we fought, he would surpass me at any time.

After all, he’s an Alpha and I’m only human.

But who said that physical strength is the only thing you need to win a fight?

The sound of the door closing was heard and I looked down at my hands which were tied with silver chains.

He was sitting behind the table and looking at me skeptically.

And I breathed.

“Calm your nerves, Red!” Why are you so uncomfortable?

You didn’t even see him, it’s not like you haven’t already killed Alphas twice your size. »

“What are you doing in my territory, Thug?” he asked and I answered, without looking up.

“I was escaping from some thugs… They started chasing me and… I didn’t realize I had crossed into your territory…”

He stood up, leaned against the table and folded his arms in front of him.

Whore,

But I can’t clarify some things, if he is like others say.

Why don’t girls surround him and you know… How typical perverts are.

He doesn’t look like them.

“Lies,” he said and I froze.

” Shit ! Shit !

Don’t show, Vera! Play the game! »

But what I saw made me lose my mind.

” It is not possible !

He… He can’t be him… Shit!

Does he recognize me? It was 14 years ago.

He couldn’t.

There he was, the boy with the grayest eyes I had ever seen. The eyes I can never forget.

The eyes that saved me when I was on the verge of death.

The boy who saved me from kidnappers all those years ago.

“The marks on your arms are not claws but blades. You can fool my Gamma, but not me,” he said as he approached me and I froze. “He can’t be involved in everything he’s been accused of.”

It is not possible.

He saved me, he wouldn’t have done it. He can’t be involved in a crime like this.

I was here to kill him, but can I?

What if the rumors were false? »

“I…I…don’t lie. They really…”

He continued to move closer, but I didn’t pull away.

I stood my ground.

He walked behind me and I looked down.

Feeling his burning gaze on my back.

“Shut up,” he said, approaching me from behind.

His breath hit my neck and I swallowed.

“Tell me the truth this time. I’m going to ask you again. What are you doing on my territory? »

“Think, Vera! Think! »

“My companion…. He rejected me and banished me… I tried to replace shelter… But no pack accepts me… I lied thinking… That you might have some sympathy for… me…”

“Do you even know whose side you’re on, my dear? he said and I turned to look at him.

Our eyes finally met and I couldn’t help but stare.

He was him. He had to be.

As he got closer, he invaded my personal space.

Its smell hit me hard.

“Moonlight Pack.” »

And I showed him my shock, well I pretended.

His face remains stoic.

“We have been accused of the most horrible crimes on wolves like you and yet you came here asking for shelter? “

I…I…didn’t…know…” I said as I walked away from him, turning to stare at the door. Any other scared wolf would do that. Is not it ?

And with that, I ran towards the door, but it was closed.

I tried to pull, but to no avail.

It was part of the game.

“Open the door!” I want to go ! “, I said, trying to sound braver than before.

As he started leaning on the desk again and staring at me.

” It’s too late. You’re trapped here now. »

“What… Do you mean…?” I said, trying to sound scared. My voice stuttered.

He sighed and returned to his seat. He opened a few files and completely ignored my presence.

” Sit down. I have a deal to offer you.

» “A deal?” Me ? Very interesting. Let’s listen to it. » I don’t know why, but I still trusted him.

He hasn’t even touched me until now, I needed proof to accuse him of such serious charges.

I sat and stared at him, while he ignored me for a few seconds, shuffling papers.

“You want shelter, don’t you?” »

I nodded and he looked up at me. Now that I looked at his face, without a doubt, he was beautiful. I bet girls would throw themselves at him.

“You’ll get it, along with respect and attention. However, you must do something for me. »

I nodded, inviting him to continue. When he looked into my eyes and said the words I never thought of.

“I want you to be my mate. »

” What is this mess ! ? Did I hear him correctly or something?

My plan is ruined for sure! »

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

The Alex’s POV:

I’m sitting on top of a tree branch, looking up at the dark sky.

The portion hid my smell and I wasn’t afraid of getting caught in the gasoline.

It was already 12:40 and Red wasn’t there. Fear covered my features.

When suddenly I heard footsteps and looked down.

The man looked like a powerful figure, his arm draped over another as they were engaged in discussion.

“Do you think this will be the right one? “, sighed the other, stopping suddenly. Right below me, if I might add.

“Who knows, Zen? She was shy and submissive. But she looked too weak. I don’t think Alpha Kane will offer her the queen position. We need a strong Luna right now, she was no better than a scared sheep. »

“But, I couldn’t smell him. His wolf died and it’s very rare to replace. A she-wolf without companion complications? This will be perfect for an Alpha. »

“It’s a positive point. Besides, we can’t wait any longer. We need a Luna so the council can trust us. I seriously don’t know why we were accused of something so shameful. »

“It’s part of the game, Zen. No other pack wants us to be powerful enough to challenge the Redmoon Pack. »

“Just a way to ruin our reputation.” »

“But then, other wolves? It’s the new full moon tomorrow, will you assist them this time? », sighed the other before responding.

” I have to do it. I do not have a choice. »

“Good luck, man. The northern trail is truly dangerous, especially since the day this carnage started. I swear I haven’t seen such a horrible wolf in a decade. »

“What are they talking about?” From a wolf? How can Vera not know about this? »

“Did you see him?” »

“I saw it on the last species. Trust me, he’s going to be the biggest threat if we don’t stop him. He’s a sadistic man… Really crazy. »

“Alpha Kane is trying hard, but look where it got us. Now everyone thinks we’re the ones doing this. »

“It’s true. I just hope it works out.

“It’s only possible if we capture him.” »

And then there was silence. ” Oh my God ! The Alpha is innocent! There’s someone else here… Someone more powerful.

A wolf,” they said. “So it was a wolf who committed all these crimes on women?

Cold-blooded murders?

Vera must come back! I need to tell him that. I just hope she doesn’t kill the Alpha before replaceing out the truth. »

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard their last question. The hope in their hearts made me proud of the woman I helped these past few years.

“Do you think anyone can defeat him?” »

“Where there is evil, there is also good, Zen. And the moon goddess only sent one person to stop this bloodshed.

The rebel ! »

Zen, Gamma nodded.

“I just wish he would come here soon.” »

And I smiled to myself. If only they knew she was already here.

Sitting with their Alpha during this time.
